The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was redirect to List of Marvel Comics teams and organizations. No indication of any out-of-universe reliable sourcing that backs up any content to be merged, so closing as straight redirect. History remains though. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 23:13, 7 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep if sources can be found, otherwise merge to List of Marvel Comics teams and organizations per WP:ATD and WP:PRESERVE. BOZ (talk) 19:40, 21 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
'Redirect to List of Marvel Comics teams and organizations unless sources can be found. If they are ping me so I can review them. TIA. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 06:41, 22 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep or merge with the "V" section of List of Marvel Comics teams and organizations in the spirit of WP:PRESERVE and per @BOZ:. --Rtkat3 (talk) 17:52, 23 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Merge in the spirit of WP:PRESERVE. The Slings & Arrows Comic Guide does have an entry for the epynomous Citizen V and the V-Battalion comics miniseries, though I cannot see in how much detail it talks about the V-Battalion. I would be happy to change my vote to keep in case more sources were found. Daranios (talk) 10:11, 24 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, per WP:DON'T PRESERVE. "material for which no reliable source that supports it has ever been published should be completely removed". Should an article for the series Citizen V and the V-Battalion be created, then a redirect there might be suitable. --Killer Moff- ill advisedly sticking his nose in since 2011 (talk) 08:23, 27 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Killer Moff: But it is not the case here that no reliable sources supporting this topic have been published: As the V-Battalion is a fictional entity, the comics themselves are most reliable with regard to it. As primary sources they cannot generate notability, and cannot support a separate article by themselves. But their existence means WP:DON'T PRESERVE is not applicable here. (And yes, "Primary sources ... can be both reliable and useful in certain situations".) Daranios (talk) 18:47, 27 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
